Jamaica Bay and the Rockaways
Intermediate Canoeing
Saturday, July 26, 2025
11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m.
Few experiences compare with being on the open water in New York City. The rhythm of the waves, the sun on your face, and the exhilaration of slicing through the water all add up to an experience you’ll never forget. Our trained Urban Park Rangers will lead you on canoe adventures that range from the gentle waters of protected lakes to the challenging open waters of rivers and bays. All canoe programs are for ages 8 years and older. Participants must have prior canoeing experience. Registration opens on Wednesday July 16.
